NECKTI'E.

To all whom #may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY JULIUS SoHo'ri TELKORB, a citizen of the United States, and

a resident of Pasco, in` the county of Franklin and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsv in 'Neckties, of' which the following is a speciiication. f

My invention vrelates to neckties and more particularly a necktie adapted to be used as a bow tie.

ance of another.

An important object-- of my invention is to provide ajnecktie of this class which may be adjusted by the wearer to present the appearance of a bow tie without requiring any especial skill on his part or any assist- Another Objectis to provide a necktie of neat andattractive appearance, simple and durable in construction'and easy and inexpensiveto. manufacturehv Other volgjects and 'a'dvantages reside in certain novef features of the construction,

i arrangement and combination of parts and will become apparent as ythe description proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification and in which:

Figure l is a perspective view of the tie, the tying ends being folded and the central band being positioned as in use,

F1g..2 is a perspective view Yof the tying ends and adjacent parts,

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the central band.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the-numeral 5 designates a neck band having one end looped as at 6 and associated with a sliding buckle 7 whereby theneck band may 1be lengthenedor shortened to suit the size of the lcollar worn by the wearer'.

A link 8 is positioned on the looped portion of the neck band prior to the .assembling of the same with the sliding buckle and after the assemblythe link isv normally positioned in the bight 6 of the loop. f

A tying end 9 is secured to the outer porspecication'of Letters Patent. Patented Dec, 30j 1919 Application filed July 11, 1919.' Serial No. 310,043. v

other end of the neck band '5 by suitable stitching or the like 10. The neck band-5 may be of any suitable material but is preferably of a cheaper and less highly finished material than the' tying ends which of course may be plain colors or any of the usual ornamentations.

-The central band 1l is shown in detail in F ig. 3 and coperates with the tying ends 9 and 1Q, as shofwn in Fig. l in a manner to be hereinafter more fully described; The

material forming the central 'bandis preffirst adjusts the' length of the' neck band Y to suit,A the size by means of the sliding buckle 7. The central band v10- is then slippedoverone"ofthe tying ends' on to the neckband. The tying end 9 is then folded y 1 over on itself andthe tying end 10 is passed through the space provided in the link 8 and then ypassed between the Afolds of the tying end 9. The folds of the tying ends are held in this position while the elastic central band 10 is moved to the central portion of the fold as shown in Fig. 1. The elastic gripping action of the' central band causes the folds to be maintained in proper position and also causes the adjacent portions of the folds to be tucked thereby more closely simulating the .appearance of the bow knot or tie. It' is obviousthat the folds of the tying ends are so arranged with respect to each other as previously described and as shownin Fig. 1 that their looped ends are properly spaced and formed to simulate -a bow tie and that no skill is required to arrange the parts 4in proper position. A

I claim: 1. A necktie comprising a neck band having one end looped and associated with la sliding buckle to vary its length, a link en- `tion of the link 8 preferably 'by stitching or the like 9, as shown in Fig. 2. It is v.to be noted that the link is of such size as to pro-- vide a space between the tying end 8 and the bight 6 for a purpose to be hereinafter described. f

f The other tying end 10 is secured to the gaged 'in the bight of said looped end, a tying end directly secured to the outer portion of saidlink and adapted to be folded over on` itself, a tying end directly secured to -the other end of said neck band and adapted to be passed through said link and betweenthe folds of v.said rst mentioned tying end and an elastic band adapted to be engaged over thecenter of the folds of said tying ends to simulate` With said-folds the' appearance of a bow tie.
